The objective of the present work was to map and analyze the Brazilian scientific production on social participation in disaster risk reduction to discuss its role in building a preventive and resilient culture. Based on the elements discussed here, it is expected to contribute to future studies on this subject so that instruments, actions and strategies for prevention, mitigation and resilience to disasters are created and promoted that seek to engage as many social actors as possible. The analysis considered the publications identified between the year 2011 and the first semester of 2022, through the databases SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online, Portal of Periodicals of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel - CAPES and REDIB - Iberoamerican Network de Innovación y Conocimiento Científico, using the indexing terms “participatory mapping” or “community mapping” or “participation”, combined with the term “disasters”, resulting in the selection of 31 articles for full reading. The analyzes resulted in an overview of the year; areas of knowledge and; region/state of the country and disasters addressed in the publications. In addition, from the reading of the articles, the identification of the themes, the methodology used and the results and discussion was carried out so that common factors could be found. Thus, the analysis of the productions was carried out according to three thematic categories based on some of the recommendations related to priority of action number 1, “Understanding the risk of disasters”, determined by the Sendai Framework in 2015, namely: disasters; Education and knowledge sharing and; Social participation. The main results are: i. the potential of different tools for promoting popular participation in disaster risk reduction – participatory mapping, interviews, questionnaires and workshops –; and ii. the importance of involving different audiences – teenagers, residents of risk areas, public authorities, researchers and professionals from different areas of knowledge.
